Don't let any municipality give you any chit for anchoring too long. New
Florida law was passed in May that prohibits municipalities from enforcing
anchoring laws to non liveaboard boats. The definition of liveaboard was
clarified to mean only people living on boats that don't move.

Check it out he http://www.boatus.com/gov/

Scroll down to "July 28, 2009" where it begins:

"For several years, certain local cities and counties in Florida have been
restricting the length of time that boats are allowed to anchor. Legislative
changes were made recently to Florida law which should increase the boater’s
ability to anchor within Florida. Some changes take effect July 1, 2009 and
others on October 1, 2009."

Here is a .pdf you should download and print to keep with your other
important papers:

You're welcome.
